Claude Code subagents sometimes rewrite ~/. paths to relative paths,
causing MODULE_NOT_FOUND when CWD is the project directory. $HOME is a
shell variable resolved at runtime, immune to model path rewriting.

Add lightweight codebase scanning before gray area identification:
- New scout_codebase step checks for existing maps or does targeted grep
- Gray areas annotated with code context (existing components, patterns)
- Discussion options informed by what already exists in the codebase
- Context7 integration for library-specific questions
- CONTEXT.md template includes code_context section

DEBUGGER_MODEL and CHECKER_MODEL used uppercase bash convention but the
Task() calls referenced {debugger_model} and {integration_checker_model}
(lowercase). The mismatch caused Claude to skip substitution and fall back
to the parent session model, ignoring the configured GSD profile.

New command that generates unit and E2E tests for completed phases:
- Analyzes implementation files and classifies into TDD/E2E/Skip
- Enforces RED-GREEN gates for both unit and E2E tests
- Uses phase SUMMARY.md, CONTEXT.md, and VERIFICATION.md as test specs
- Presents test plan for user approval before generating
Test classification rules:
- TDD: pure functions where expect(fn(input)).toBe(output) is writable
- E2E: UI behavior verifiable by Playwright (keyboard, navigation, forms)
- Skip: styling, config, glue code, migrations, simple CRUD
Ref: Issue #302
Enables quality guarantees on quick tasks without full milestone ceremony.
--full spawns plan-checker (max 2 iterations) and post-execution verifier,
produces VERIFICATION.md, and adds Status column to STATE.md table.

Add optional phase archival to milestone completion and a standalone
/gsd:cleanup command for retroactive use. Phase dirs move to
.planning/milestones/v{X.Y}-phases/, reducing phases/ clutter after
multiple milestones.
Core changes:
- getArchivedPhaseDirs() and searchPhaseInDir() helpers in gsd-tools
- findPhaseInternal() searches archives when phase not found in current
- cmdPhasesList() accepts --include-archived flag
- cmdHistoryDigest() scans both current and archived phases
- cmdMilestoneComplete() accepts --archive-phases flag
- Workflow globs replaced with find-phase/phases-list CLI calls

Projects with "type": "module" in package.json cause Node to treat
gsd-tools.js as ESM, crashing on require(). The .cjs extension forces
CommonJS regardless of the host project's module configuration.

Typing /exec matched plan-phase instead of execute-phase because the
plan-phase description contained "execution plan".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add opt-in mechanism to chain discuss → plan → execute automatically
via Task() subagents, eliminating manual /clear + paste overhead.
- Add `--auto` flag to discuss-phase and plan-phase commands
- Add `workflow.auto_advance` config toggle (default: false)
- Add auto_advance step to discuss-phase workflow (spawns plan-phase)
- Add step 14 to plan-phase workflow (spawns execute-phase)
- Add auto_advance toggle to /gsd:settings
Chain stops gracefully on INCONCLUSIVE, CHECKPOINT, or verification
failures. No work lost — artifacts persist at each step.
Closes#541

Hooks had hardcoded `.claude` paths that broke OpenCode users. The
installer now templates `.js` hooks with runtime-specific config dirs,
same as it already does for `.md` files. Also added `./.claude/`
replacement for local install paths in workflows.

The verifier agent interpreted {phase} as the full directory slug
(e.g., 01-foundation-target-system) instead of just the padded phase
number (01), producing wrong filenames like
01-foundation-target-system-VERIFICATION.md.
Changed all {phase}-*.md references to {phase_num}-*.md to match the
convention used in gsd-tools.js (${padded}-VERIFICATION.md).
Files: VERIFICATION.md, RESEARCH.md, CONTEXT.md, UAT.md patterns.

When users modify GSD workflow files (e.g., adding bug workarounds),
those changes get wiped on every /gsd:update. This adds automatic
backup and guided restore:
**install.js changes:**
- Writes `gsd-file-manifest.json` after install with SHA256 hashes
of every installed GSD file
- Before wiping on update, compares current files against manifest
to detect user modifications
- Backs up modified files to `gsd-local-patches/` directory
- Reports backed-up patches after install completes
**New command: /gsd:reapply-patches**
- LLM-guided merge of backed-up modifications into new version
- Handles cases where upstream also changed the same file
- Reports merge status per file (merged/skipped/conflict)
**update.md changes:**
- Warning text now mentions automatic backup instead of manual
- New step after install to check for and report backed-up patches
Flow: modify GSD file → /gsd:update → modifications auto-backed up →
new version installed → /gsd:reapply-patches → modifications merged back

Reverts af7a057 "feat: add GSD Memory cross-project knowledge system"
The memory system needs more work before shipping:
- Workflow integration is incomplete (writes but doesn't query)
- UX requires too much manual intervention
- Setup friction exceeds value for most users
Preserved on branch `memory-wip` for continued development.

set-profile and settings commands hard-errored when .planning/config.json
did not exist, blocking users from changing model profile before running
new-project. Create config.json with balanced defaults when missing.
Executor self-check after SUMMARY.md creation verifies key-files exist
on disk and commit hashes exist in git log. Orchestrator spot-checks
SUMMARY claims before trusting and proceeding to next wave. Segmented
execution (execute-plan.md) gets the same self-check inline.
Fixes#363
The update command was hardcoded to use --global flag, which would
convert a local installation to a global one during updates.
Changes:
- Detect install type by checking ./.claude/ first, then ~/.claude/
- Use --local flag when updating a local install
- Use --global flag when updating a global install
- Update cache cleanup path to match install location
- Clarify warning message paths to be relative to install location
- Add Character Preservation section to GSD-STYLE.md
- Clarify 'no special chars' applies to FILENAME only in add-todo
- Use 'box-drawing' terminology for tree structure visualization

CONTEXT.md from /gsd:discuss-phase now flows through entire pipeline:
- Loaded early in step 4, stored for all agent spawns
- Researcher: constrains research scope (locked decisions vs discretion)
- Planner: explicit guidance to honor locked decisions
- Checker: new Context Compliance dimension to verify plans respect user vision
- Revision: reminder to maintain context compliance during fixes
Adds Dimension 7 (Context Compliance) to gsd-plan-checker:
- Verifies locked decisions have implementing tasks
- Flags if tasks contradict locked decisions
- Flags if deferred ideas included in plans

Add configurable git branching with three strategies:
- none (default): commit to current branch
- phase: create branch per phase (gsd/phase-{N}-{slug})
- milestone: create branch per milestone (gsd/{version}-{slug})
Changes:
- planning-config.md: add git.branching_strategy and templates
- execute-phase.md: handle branch creation based on strategy
- settings.md: add branching strategy to settings UI
- complete-milestone.md: handle branch merging at milestone end
/gsd:update already shows changelog before updating, with cancel option.
Two commands for nearly the same purpose adds unnecessary cognitive load.

Standardize on *-CONTEXT.md glob pattern to match files like
03-CONTEXT.md across all workflows.
Files updated:
- commands/gsd/plan-phase.md
- commands/gsd/research-phase.md
- get-shit-done/workflows/discuss-phase.md
- get-shit-done/workflows/resume-project.md

Custom subagents cannot access MCP tools due to Claude Code bug #13898.
This affects gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-project-researcher, and gsd-planner
which need Context7 for documentation lookups.
Fix: Switch to general-purpose agent (which has MCP access) and have it
read the agent instruction file as its first action. The specialized
behavior comes from the prompt, not the agent definition.
Closes#161

- Add model_profile question (balanced/quality/budget) to Round 2
- Add model_profile to config.json schema
- Reword agent questions to be clearer:
- "Spawn Plan Researcher?" → "Research before planning each phase?"
- "Spawn Plan Checker?" → "Verify plans will achieve their goals?"
- "Spawn Execution Verifier?" → "Verify work satisfies requirements after each phase?"
- Update descriptions to explain value, not mechanics

- Step 9.3 now spawns gsd-entity-generator subagent instead of Task batches
- Subagent receives file paths only (preserves orchestrator context)
- Subagent reads files in fresh 200k context, writes entities to disk
- Returns statistics only (not entity contents)
- Updated context section to document subagent execution model
- Fixed slug examples to use single hyphen format (matches hook)
- Simplified Steps 9.4-9.5 for new flow
Exposes graph database queries to users:
- dependents <file> - what depends on this file (blast radius)
- hotspots - most-depended-on files
Closes tech debt item from v1.9.0 audit.
